Mindekirken helps support a local food shelf operating out of Community Emergency Services (CES), located at 19th Street and 11th Ave. Community Emergency Service (CES) is a non-profit crisis relief and empowerment ministry that extends God's love to those in the inner city of South Minneapolis. Located in the Phillips (Ventura Village) Neighborhood, CES provides services to over 70,000 people annually and Mindekirken regularly sends people asking for help to their facility.

Non-perishable food items may be brought to Mindekirken and left in the basket near the narthex stairway.
